Fast moving thriller very current fiction that's so believable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book touches on many current topics in the news today. Hollywood needs this kind of a fresh story instead of all the remakes and re-hashes of old films being dressed up as "new". As you read this fantastic book, you can see the imagery and feel the intensity of this story. The ego conflicts between the CIA and FBI are portrayed with intelligence and creativity, and Jack O'Neill has truly outdone himself with this fantastic book!
Echelon, Somebody is listening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Echelon Jack paints vivid word pictures rich in detail in this book. While I don't read many novels, I couldn't put this one down. Toward the end, he even introduces a major player who never appears, and has no dialogue. See if you can detect who it is toward the end of the story. This is a good read, and you will enjoy it.

CIA/FBI Thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is fantastically realistic and un-predictable, a trait that is unique in this genre. The detailed, interwoven story line is exciting and thrilling to read, and the development of CIA and FBI intelligence strategies is quite interesting and highly believable. When does the next Jack O'Neill book come out?
Gripping thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If you savor stories set in Washington and elsewhere, whose characters you care about -- even when the tale turns repeatedly on a dime, and that you can't put down, buy this book. It grabs like Tom Clancy, but brings you into the 21st Century. Hang on, though. You're in for a fast ride.
A superb and realistic techno-thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Jack O'Neill brilliantly tells a thrilling story revolving around real-life conflicts between the FBI and the CIA that we have all become more aware of since 9/11. Michael Stone, a CIA agent working at the FBI, uses Echelon intercepts and other electronic surveillance techniques to detect and track criminal, and possibly terrorist, activities. O'Neill's book puts us in touch with the real world of eavesdropping that surrounds everyone, and explains how its all done. The characters are vivid and intriguing, especially two women, Janet and Carolyn, who become ensnarled in the eavesdropping world. It makes you wonder: Is somebody listening to you? The story moves rapidly, and I had to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next. The denouement is dazzling. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers with a realistic, technological content.
